Blaze, Me, John Gardner, Jordan, Pauly O, Crack Eric, and Kevin all wanted to go to Montreal so we kinda just went. We wanted to peep Albany, NY and so we did. Classic crust city with unique spots. After a five hour car ride, everyone was stoked to be out of the car and get some burritos. Right by a perfect double kind handrail. John was fiending, got on, grinded a couple times, the just went down real hard onto his hip and was pretty brunsed out. He still was able to come away with the sickest trick of the clip in Montreal.
We got to spend a free night at the Holiday Inn thanks to papa’s papa. Got some continental breakfast and spee. Hit some bball court spots which were awesome, then went for the border. We got there, we have six stoners in the car, they ask one of us to speak up, then some stoner mumbles something and he got pulled aside. Since the car was clean we were good, but we still had to go in, and Crack Eric got pulled into the back room due to an old possession charge.
Two hours later we’re in Canada and searching for beer. Went to a gas station to buy a beer and they wouldn’t serve because it was after 10, fuckin bruns. So went across the street to a bar restaurant and spent 16 bucks on a beer and fries. But was still good at that point. We went back and passed out.
First day we drive to the money exchange right in downtown and smelt some weed burning on the streets. Jordan bonds with the guy, and his girl,and they hooked it up real quick. Got some Canada money and skated downtown. Got to check out p45 DIY spot. Place is sick.
Met some cool people there, they hooked it up with B.C. buds, and some good times night skating downtown. Got to skate the big O and spent a whole day at the stadium. Skated a bunch more spots then I thought, it was really sick, everybody killed it. Kev killed it the most with driving and somehow knowing where every spot was in some foreign country. Bruns. Soul.
